Track Your Ballot: San Diego County Releases New Tool For Voters
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — The San Diego County Registrar of Voters has launched a new tool that will enable registered voters to track the status of their ballots for the Nov. 3 election.
Voters can sign up for "Where's My Ballot" at sdvote.com to receive an automatic email, text or call notification on the status of their ballot.
"Voting by mail is simple, safer and secure," the Registrar of Voters office said in a statement.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, every active registered voter in California will receive a ballot in the mail. According to the office, people who want to vote in person will have the opportunity to do so, "but they may run into long lines, both at the polls and the registrar's office."
The Registrar of Voters office also encouraged residents to double-check their voter registration ahead of time. The office will be preparing ballots for the mail by mid-September, and ballots will start going out to registered voters the week of Oct. 5.
